There's no evidence that anyTHING has a soul... and so it's an opinion. And if it's an opinion, then someone could say that animals have souls, too. Logged

Any evidence that human's don't have a soul? You made the statement, not Pyru. You made the statement that they do, and Pyru never really said they don't (he only said that your statement can't be or haven't been proven, i.e. he had a neutral standpoint on the subject). Logged

And even if that is true - why would it make it more valuable? Logged

I don't see what the big deal is about one type of life having to be more valuable than another.

The life of a human is equal to that of an animal, or a plant, or a single celled organism, etc. To try and say that your life is worth more for any reason is egotistical.

However, it is natural to fend for yourself, and to side with those similar to you. As such, humans will always pick humans over other animals. That is just nature.

There is nothing morally wrong with eating meat - it's a personal choice, and animals do it all the time in nature. It's part of survival.

Humans are the most destructive of all species, and I think that that's wrong - but that doesn't necessarily make them worth more, or less.
